Singer: Mao Amin

Lyrics: Li Chunli

Composer: Li Chunli

Mom, I want to say something to you, and I swallowed it.

Mom, I want to smile at you, but there are tears in my eyes.

Oh, mom? Mama in the light of the candle

Mom, your black hair is frosted.

Mother by candlelight, there are so many cares printed on your cheeks.

Oh mom, mom by candlelight.

Your waist is too tired to stand up straight, oh mom.

Mother by candlelight, why have your eyes lost their luster?

Mom, my daughter has grown up.

I don't want to walk through spring, summer, autumn and winter with my skirt, mom.

Mother by candlelight, your waist is too tired to stand up straight.

Oh mom, mom by candlelight.

Why have your eyes lost their luster, mom?

My daughter has grown up and doesn't want to lead you through spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Oh, mom, believe me, daughters have their own rewards.

Oh, mom, believe me, daughters have their own rewards.
